In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance
begins. But in this time and place, sparks like these can only
ignite trouble. It's 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no
mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian
leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his
own confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he's not the
only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery
boy have the courage to meet - and if they do, what will it take to
hold on to each other?
Jamie Lee wants to be normal. But his ADHD makes him feel like his
brain is full of butterflies. Elin Watts wants to be perfect. If
she can be, surely her dad will come home. When Jamie and Elin's
families blend, the polar opposites of chaotic Jamie and ordered
Elin collide. As their lives spiral out of control, Jamie and Elin
discover that they're actually more alike than they'd admit. Maybe
there's no such thing as normal, or perfect. And perhaps, just like
families, happy-ever-afters come in all shapes and sizes. Uplifting
and moving, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind is an inspiring story
of acceptance, blended families, and discovering that in the end,
being yourself is more than enough.
Lottie loves wildlife and dreams of becoming a nature show
presenter like Samira, host of her favourite programme Every Little
Thing. Lottie has been reading about the decline in the number of
insects in nature. With the help of her tech neighbour Noah, she
decides to build a bug-hotel to encourage their return. But
buzzing-mayhem, they are interrupted by a swarm of bees invading
Mr. Parfitt's garden next door. Can Lottie help save the bees
before the exterminator arrives? Nature Hooks: bee and bug facts,
pollination, butterfly feeder, how to make a bug hotel.
